This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This template is used to generate an external link to a web page for a person in the Internet Movie Database. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.
Usage
If the subject of the Wikipedia article is the same as the IMDb page, only ID number is required. The template then uses the Wikipedia article name as the anchor text.
{{IMDb name | ID }}
{{IMDb name | id= ID }}
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter. This is necessary when adding an IMDb link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked person (for example, if you include the IMDb link for Bette Davis in the Joan Crawford article, you must specify Bette Davis's name as the text for the link).
{{IMDb name | ID | NAME }}
{{IMDb name | id= ID | name= NAME }}
The parameter |section= can be set to award (alternatively awards) or bio (alternatively biography) to link to the awards or biography section for that person.
{{IMDb name | ID | NAME | section= SECTION }}
{{IMDb name | id= ID | name= NAME | section= SECTION }}
Note that the link text is the same as the name of the Wikipedia page the template is used on; outside the page "Marlon Brando", use the second option:
Replace "ID" with the number and "Name" with "Marlon Brando"
The parameter |section= can be set to award (alternatively awards) or bio (alternatively biography) to link to the awards or biography section for that person.
